Why It Works
The identity section is doing something simple: it replaces Claude’s defaults with your specifics. Without it, every response is shaped for some imaginary average user. With it, every response is shaped for you.
The briefing document metaphor is worth holding onto. A good new hire doesn’t need to be micro-managed — they need enough context to make good decisions independently. That’s what you’re giving Claude.
This section evolves. Every time Claude makes a bad assumption about who you are, update it.
